About

There are many great agile practitioners out there. Organisations spend millions of pounds on agile transformations. Agile is hardly new.

So why do so many agile transformations struggle to get off the ground, or fail completely?

This site sets out to answer that question, through a regular podcast that interviews agile practitioners from across the world.

There are only two rules

No names of people, and no names of organisations. This site aims to uncover the many different reasons agile transformations run into difficulty, so others can avoid them. It is not about failure or blame, and it follows the retrospective prime directive:

“Regardless of what we discover, we understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job they could, given what they knew at the time, their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand. At the end of a project everyone knows so much more. Naturally we will discover decisions and actions we wish we could do over. This is wisdom to be celebrated, not judgement used to embarrass.“
